About me

I'm a writer and editor from the Wirral, just a 20-minute Mersey Ferry away from Liverpool, England. Since I was a kid I always wanted to write for magazines and consumer publications. My first break in newsstand publishing came in 2007 when I took a job at Future Publishing. For the next eight years I contributed to over 30 popular print magazines and online brands before choosing a freelance career in 2013.

I like to read up on all sorts of topics, and occasionally write fiction whenever I get inspired by a good novel. I'm also a keen runner and completed the Bath half-marathon in 2013, raising £1,000 for Rape Crisis in the process. As the photo suggests, I'm also a bit of an LFC fan, although oddly I've been to Camp Nou more times than I've been to Anfield.
